Boca Raton is the southernmost city in Palm Beach County and was first incorporated on August 2, 1924 as 'Bocaratone', then incorporated again as 'Boca Raton' on May 26, 1925, at the peak of the Florida land boom.

Boca Raton is largely the creation of architect Addison Mizner, who in the 1920s set out to build 'the foremost resort city on the North American continent' and gave the city its signature Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival architecture; before Mizner arrived, it was a farming town of just 100 people in 1920.

Mizner's 1926 Cloister Inn still stands today as The Boca Raton resort, and the city's downtown cultural and shopping district, Mizner Park, is named in his honor.

Boca Raton had a population of 97,422 in the 2020 Census and an estimated 102,238 in 2024 - but roughly 200,000 additional people use a Boca Raton postal address while living outside the city limits in areas such as West Boca Raton.

Boca Raton is the birthplace of the IBM Personal Computer - IBM's first PC was developed at the company's Boca Raton facility in the early 1980s.
